Un fantasma in gola esplora la femminilità e il desiderio. Doireann Ní Ghríofa racconta la maternità nella sua dimensione universale, e ne fa metafora della scrittura capace di ricucire le ferite più intime e creare echi tra universi lontani:un’opera sul suono che allontana e unisce l’ultimo sospiro di un uomo che muore e il primo vagito di una nuova vita. Dopo aver avuto tre figli in pochi anni, l’autrice ha adattato la propria vita su quella dei suoi bambini: poppate, pappe da preparare, viaggi in macchina verso scuola e ritorno, cartoni animati e sonni sempre troppo brevi.

«Quest’estate, non sapendo cosa fare, ho formato un comitato per il fiume Lambro sito Unesco. Subito ho avuto cinque adesioni.» È solo l’inizio di questa storia, un atto dovuto per rimediare a una clamorosa ingiustizia. Non è possibile infatti che Milano sia sede di un unico sito, quando per trovarne a decine basta un giro sul Lambro: dalla baia dei lavandini – il primo lavandino vecchio vi fu gettato da Giovanni il Pirla – alle colonie di mangiatori di girini, fino alle lettere d’amore infilate nelle bottiglie vuote del Vernel.

In their lovely old Cotswolds village, Janet and Susan are known to all the other villagers as “the girls”—a fixture. Partners in love and work, co-proprietors of a picturesque shop specializing in the work of local artisans and farmers, they lead an enviable, enviably settled life. So it’s no catastrophe when Sue, the younger of the two, feels the need to take a month to travel on her own, leaving Jan alone to run their stall at the Inland Waterways Rally Craft Fair.

Wenn jetzt noch herauskommt, dass Bruno und er viel mehr sind als nur Kollegen, könnte es für sie beide lebensgefährlich werden.

As his family falls apart day by day, Robin finds himself pulling away from the unquestioned, unexamined life that has been carefully laid out for him. Small acts of rebellion lead to larger questions of what it means to stand on his own. Falling into a fevered triangle with two other outcasts, Todd Spicer and Scott Schatz, Robin embarks on an explosive odyssey of sexual self-discovery that will take him beyond the spring-green lawns of suburbia, beyond the fraying fabric barely holding together his quickly unraveling family, and into a complex future, beyond the world of normal boys.

It is the Saturday after the 2016 presidential election, and in a plush weekend house in Connecticut, an intimate group of friends, New Yorkers all, has gathered to recover from what they consider the greatest political catastrophe of their lives. They have just sat down to tea when their hostess, Eva Lindquist, proposes a dare. Who among them would be willing to ask Siri how to assassinate Donald Trump?

In 1990, three boys are born, unrelated but intertwined by circumstance: Dayo, Iseul, and Youssef. They are adopted as infants and share a bedroom perched atop a mosque in one of Staten Island’s most diverse and underserved neighborhoods. The three boys are an inseparable trio but conspicuous: Dayo is of Nigerian origin, Iseul is Korean, and Youssef indeterminately Middle Eastern. Youssef shares everything with his brothers except for one secret: He sees a hallucinatory double, an imaginary friend who seems absolutely real, a shape-shifting familiar he calls Brother.

Se lei lo vedesse lì, dall'altra parte della barricata, andrebbe su tutte le furie. Giada ha sedici anni e ha appena trovato il coraggio di dirgli che le piacciono le ragazze.

David Leavitt's second collection of stories further confirms a talent deep and wonderfully creative in its empathy. A Place I've Never Been explores family relationships, friendships, and romantic relationships, among characters whose sexuality is fluid or uncertain—a barrier or under threat.

A man entering a bold new world of gay hookups feels sheltered from the most intimidating attentions by his more attractive, charismatic friend.

A dirty cult-classic put out in a small batch by an underground publisher (Rudos and Rubes) in 2015, Johnny Would You Love Me If My Dick Were Bigger recounts the life of an artist and “old school homosexual” who bears a big resemblance to author Brontez Purnell. Our hero doesn’t trust the new breed of fags taking over San Francisco, though. They wear bicycle helmets, seat belts, and condoms. Meanwhile, he sabotages his relationships, hallucinating affection while cruising in late night parks, bath-houses, and other nooks and crannies of a newly-conservative, ruined city.

Against this backdrop, The City of Palaces opens in a Mexico City jail with the meeting of Miguel Sarmiento and Alicia Gavilán.
